The Keen Footwear
Goal
Keen Footwear was founded
in 2003 with two goals: to bring new innovations
in protective, comfortable, performance
footwear and to develop a company based
on core beliefs of individual freedom
and mutual respect.
Keen Footwear's initial
efforts to correct a new and unique category
of footwear defined their approach: hybrid
products for hybrid usage for the hybrid
lifestyle of so many active people. Whether
you are a true adventurer or urban outdoorsman,
chances are that you have multiple interests
and can benefit from footwear that has
multiple applications.
Keen Footwear believes that
from this approach they've grown rapidly
from their first protective toe, waterproof,
hybrid sandal to a variety of products
and styles. From original innovations
in utility and performance to our newest
footwear design breakthroughs, their products
share a common thread: footwear performance
in dependent upon fit, comfort and overall
utility.
Keen Footwear is proud
of their products and proud of their people.
They hope you'll agree that Keen Footwear
represents a unique opportunity for individual
expression and ultimately, inspire a new
form of freedom. Oh - and have some fun
in your Keens!
Keen Footwear Sport
Sandals
What started out as a protective
sandal has evolved into a line of waterproof
performance footwear for the true adventurer
and urban outdoorsman. The Keen footprint
now encompasses 27 styles, each built
with definitive design details such as
patented toe guards, anatomical footbeds
and quick release drawstring closures.
Rugged and comfortable. Functional yet
freeing. Protective yet stylish. And the
comfort of knowing that when form follows
function, you're on the right path.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1) Newport vs.
Newport H2? The Newport upper is made with
waterproof nubuck, and the Newport H2
upper is made with polyester woven webbing.
Both are water proof and very durable.
The H2's footbed is all EVA so will
not absorb water which makes it a better
choice for extended submersion wear.
In addition, as the H2 is all synthetic,
it is a "vegan friendly" shoe (as is
the Hood River).
2) Hike-ability? The lug pattern of the
Jamestown, Newport, and Newport
H2 is essentially the same. On the
Newport and Newport H2, there are
pods on the forefoot and heel that
are razor siped to help prevent
slipping on smooth, wet surfaces.
Otherwise, the outsole and midsole
provide the same support. The upper
on the Jamestown is suitable for
walking and light hiking, but is
build more for comfort than the
technical performance of a hiking
shoes, therefore the Newport would
be a better chice as it has more
adjustability in the upper and is
more conducive to active sports,
not just sailing. Because the "fingers"
cradle the foot and an elastic lacing
system controls the tension on each
"finger, you will find you have
a more secure fit while retaining
the open comfort of a sandal.
3) Drying Time
of the Newport vs. Newport H2? For quick drying, the Newport
H2 has polyester webbing and a hydrophobic
foam lining that does not absorb water.
The Newport uses the same lining, but
the upper material is waterproof nubuck
leather which will absorb some water
and will therefore take longer to dry.
Just in terms of pure weight when dry,
the H2 is lighter and will dry a little
quicker.
4) Sizing? The men's shoes are built
on a D width last, the women's are
built on a B width last. They run
fairly true to size, but some find
them a little short and go up a
half size.
Keen Footwear Shoes
come in the following sizes:
Youth:10-13
including half sizes.
Kids:
1-7 including half sizes Men's: 7-14 half
size 7-12 then, 12, 13 and in the
